These were the black ones. I’ve dealt with the grey ones before at a different cabin I lived in here, and that was very epic. The grey ones like to stay low and dig. These black ones climbed and ran around outside the house, displacing the squirrels which normally think they own the place, and also I think eating most of the beloved winter wrens that nest all under my eaves. Those bastards. Yeah and the mice disappeared. The rats claimed their place as the dominant species of the cabin in a hurry. It took me about a month to figure it out. Other than some random scuttling at night I mainly just noticed silence.
Oh yeah and while I am here blathering, I meant to mention another thing relating to phones and playing music. On the upside. It’s incredible what you can do if you have a phone and a good quality interface that lets you plug in a mic or an instrument. You can access billions of music making apps - some of which are incredible, record in high quality audio, and share files. The sky is the limit really. I basically have the technology of a whole music studio in my phone. We’re living in very good times in that respect.

For some reason I didn't expect it to be so dramatic. I have to keep adjusting. I lack the drive to perform, just have the joy of creating music and was gifted a wonderful voice. Sappy love songs, that's where you'll find me most of the time
